Subject of a Transitive Verb: “Who,” “Which”

The subject of a transitive verb can always be marked by the nominalizer མཁན་ irrespective of the tense-aspect. However, in the case of benefactive verbs in the past tense, the nominalizer པ་ is usually used.

  • ཁ་ས་སྒྲ་སྙན་བཏང་མཁན་གྱི་ཁམས་པ་དེ་ངོ་ཤེས་གྱི་ཡོད་པས། “Do you know the Khampa who played the lute yesterday?”
